I have owned this product for many years and had no problems. I have read the positive and negative reviews of this product and agree with many of their pros and some of the cons. In the case of the most negative review of this product, the recommendation would increase the size significantly and make this product useless to me. I bought the PS4816 because of the compact size and quality of construction. I have always been able to work around fixed unmovable plugs. Albeit movable plugs are a nice feature, they add bulk and safety concerns, especially when the product is not constructed properly. I have had one or two of those that arc'd and sparked. Overall this is an excellent product that fit perfectly behind my computer, printer and homemade tower holding my router, desk items, etc.

I had a huge rats nest of wires under my coffee table, projector, wall worts for remote, cordless phone, base, computer, xbox, etc etc etc... bought one of these and screwed it to the bottom of the coffee table, then used velcro ties to bundle the cords up to the strip by the plugs, all neat and tidy!

I first saw this product at work under a conference table. I was sold on the spot, ordering one off the web right there and then, having added 2 more since then. Why you may ask? Home office? you know how many cords you have! for computer(s), monitors, routers, tablets, smartphone, you know the drill, there is NEVER enough outlets where you need them. Generous lead cable makes locating it right where you need it a cinch! Great for the garage workbench as well!

The PS Series of multiple-outlet power strips is a nice design, and well-made, but its power switch would be more accessible if it were mounted at the opposite end, so that it would be at the TOP of a vertically mounted strip.

Finding this outlet strip was terrific. Other power strips space the outlets closure together and are usually made of plastic. Additionally, the outlets are not as secure and eventually get loose after repeated use. This strip solves all of these problems. Quality was not sacrificed in the design and manufacture of this product while pricing is kept at a reasonable level. If you need a lot of outlets and you are plugging devices in and out frequently. Then this is the power outlet strip you need.

I purchased this product to be used as a heavy duty powerstrip behind my entertainment system. My system consists of a 50" Panasonic plasma, Directv HDTV tuner, Onkyo reciever, Panasonic bluray player, AppleTV 2, Xbox 360 kinect, PS3, and a 4 port hub. I have everything plugged into this strip with plenty of outlets left over. So far I have had no problems at all with the PS4816. I was very impressed with it's solid metal construction and heavy gauge power cord. I also used the included metal clips that allow you to hang the strip on the wall. Another great feature is the plastic cover over the power switch to keep from accidently turning it off. All in all, I am very happy I purchased this product and plan on buying a few more in the future.

Best thing about this product is the cover over the power switch
And its surge protection
I didn't think they made a power strip this long with these accessories.
Also has an appealing look to it.
And also very light weight.
The power cord is heavier then the unit itself but that doesn't matter for the application i need it for.

I purchased this power strip approx. 2 years ago, and it's been powering over 14 devices since then, on a near-daily basis. My video lab needed more outlets, and this 16-socket strip was easily tucked away by mounting it under my editing desk.
It is lightweight, easily mountable, and stays cool to the touch. The illuminated rocker switch and reset button are great, and allows me to notice if I've lost power without having to crawl under the desk.
The 15-foot cord seems like it would be too much, but the lack of receptacles in the office made the cord a blessing. All of the outlets are in use daily (running multiple computers and video components), with UPS devices in line, and it has been well worth the money spent.
It SHOULD rate 6 out of the 5 available stars !!!

Even in a "Simple" home office cords and cabling quickly get out of control. Adding this product behind desks, worktables, etc, using the provided wall mount brackets, turns a unmanagable sea of cords into a very managable one. Off the floor! and you can velcro your cords for further neatness.
I use this product at home and at work

PROS: All metal and very sturdy. Just what the doctor ordered. The AC cord is long and can be shortened to what one needs for a permanent install. Spacing is good for wall warts.
CONS: Mounting brackets are not very secure, but workable.
Recommended over the cheaper versions because of the quality of construction.
